Done. We now generate Release files having "Valid-Until:" headers. Same
format as the Date: one, just currently (for the main archive) 7 days in
future.
Would be nice if apt could get this implemented soon[1] and then the
release team asked how we could get this into lenny.
(If its *only* this change, maybe lenny proper. If that doesnt work,
maybe r1? Or possibly really a DSA for it).
[1] Luckily, apt just ignores unknown fields in release files, so no
harm done having it there already.
